Tried it with two different disks -- a MacPaint copy I made yesterday and a copy of Superpaint.  Both did the same thing as with the original system disk: (1) going command+E or file--> eject made the icon shadow out and the drive made sounds like it was doing something, but no ejection.

Shutting down resulted in a restart with no attempt to eject the disk.

This happens with both versions of the 800k drives.

Uniserver says these original ROMs can't eject 800k disks.  However some of you have said you have been able to eject, no problem.

So while the "auto restart" seems normal based on what I have heard of people using this system/finder configuration, I'm still at a loss for the ejection issue.
